How Ext.os.deviceType works.

[tomalex0]

I was under the impression that Ext.os.deviceType works based on userAgent.
I have changed userAgent in chrome from the settings option to that of android, till i'm getting deviceType as "Desktop" i was expecting something like "Phone"? I'm i missing something so simple which i'm yet to identify ?

There are a few things that can affect this, here is the code that determines the type (in Ext.env.OS):

    var search = window.location.search.match(/deviceType=(Tablet|Phone)/),
        nativeDeviceType = window.deviceType;

    // Override deviceType by adding a get variable of deviceType. NEEDED FOR DOCS APP.
    // E.g: example/kitchen-sink.html?deviceType=Phone
    if (search && search[1]) {
        deviceType = search[1];
    }
    else if (nativeDeviceType === 'iPhone') {
        deviceType = 'Phone';
    }
    else if (nativeDeviceType === 'iPad') {
        deviceType = 'Tablet';
    }
    else {
        if (!osEnv.is.Android && !osEnv.is.iOS && /Windows|Linux|MacOS/.test(osName)) {
            deviceType = 'Desktop';

            // always set it to false when you are on a desktop
            Ext.browser.is.WebView = false;
        }
        else if (osEnv.is.iPad || osEnv.is.Android3 || (osEnv.is.Android4 && userAgent.search(/mobile/i) == -1)) {
            deviceType = 'Tablet';
        }
        else {
            deviceType = 'Phone';
        }
    }

I had a look into those,
For this

I have changed the userAgent to that of android and tried

var search = window.location.search.match(/deviceType=(Tablet|Phone)/), nativeDeviceType = window.deviceType;

which return undefined.
